Finding Joy in the Journey

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly."Our Latter-day Prophet Thomas S. Monson

I found a great idea for celebrating Christmas all month long at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com, her blog has a scripture with a question/activity/gift to give everyday through to Christmas. I've added additional activities for my family. This way my family will maintain the true spirit of Christmas and have a special moment everyday to fill our lives with the love of the Savior!

Day One: Read John 3:16 - Why did Jesus come to earth?Activity: Write letters to Santa

The first activity was a hit! The kids really seemed excited to get into this! The plus to having the questions after the scripture is that they actually listen. It was a teaching moment that helps them to really understand what the Savior has done for all of us.

I am thinking of replacing the scriptures we have with our advent calendar with these ones. They sound a little easier to understand for the kids than the ones we are using and the questions are great! Thanks for the link! I hope you all get feeling better soon!
